Parkinson's disease (PD) has been associated with pathological neural activity within the basal ganglia. Herein, we analyzed resting-state single-neuron and local field potential (LFP) activities from people with PD who underwent awake deep brain stimulation surgery of the subthalamic nucleus (STN; n = 125) or globus pallidus internus (GPi; n = 44), and correlated rate-based and oscillatory features with UPDRSIII off-medication subscores. Rate-based single-neuron features did not correlate with PD symptoms.

Genetic variants play a crucial role in shaping the adaptive phenotypes associated with high-altitude populations. Nevertheless, a comprehensive understanding of the specific impacts of different environments associated with increasing altitudes on the natural selection of these genetic variants remains undetermined. Hence, this study aimed to identify genetic markers responsible for high-altitude adaptation with specific reference to different altitudes, majorly focussing on an altitude elevation range of ∼1500 m and a corresponding decrease of ≥5 % in ambient oxygen availability.

Amiodarone is a potent anti-arrhythmic drug with a well-known potential chronic pulmonary toxicity. We describe a case of acute pulmonary toxicity (APT) induced by amiodarone in a 57 year old patient submitted to a perfusion of 900 mg in just 6 hours, to control an auricular flutter with rapid ventricular response. During the administration, the patient developed hemodynamic instability and oxygen dessaturation that led to an electrical cardioversion with return of sinus rhythm.
